very very hard:))). maybe too hard. I like wood, but the interieur seems to have slightly too much wood.

WELL NO DOUPT ITS BEAUTIFUL
BUT.. we ve had enouph of these.. dont u think?

Neil

if you’ve had enough of ‘these’ then surely you should consider looking at alternative websites!??
Quality design. A sophisticated attention to detail.

but why

@rona: are you saying that we’ve had enough of beautiful houses?

Would love to have more of the description in English…..?

The spare, urbane box comportment seems at odds with the mountainous rural setting.

You’re right, we have absolutely had enough of these well designed houses. I’m looking forward to seeing more poorly designed ones.

but why

@em I would highly recommend the blog; “bad brittish architecture” or the retail section of the brittish architectural firm “Mountford Pigott” :)

beautifully realised with stunning attention to detail.

Wow. Simplicity.

Song

Very minimalist design, and I do like this kind of design. it fits the environment as well, simple life in countryside.

Rae

very well thought out clean and simple yet highly modern and functional. Very well designed

David

This house has amazing attention to detail love it!
They should’ve zoomed out and cleaned up the formal composition though; there’s something not quite right in the proportions of the overall geometry.

Harley

the little timber shed out the back is the best thing about this project!

no no, I think rona has a point here. Overlook the obvious, this house is a detached, sprawling house set in the wilderness so far apart from any neighbor – this is the kind of design that makes American cities regurgitate across the landscape. Nice yes, polemical no. Appropriate in this day and age? No amount of FSC or reclaimed lumber can make this a good model for future housing. This kind of design, as good as it is, as beautiful as it is, is flawed, is failing.
I’m going to go there: this is blissful ignorance (lauded by us on these websites who aspire to creating houses like these – and the hob-nobbing with clientele that buy these things from us).

Love the interior clad in wood and the built in furniture gives it a simple, elegant feel with beautiful views around the mountian side. Nice.

Way harsh.

It is very beautiful, yet I don't feel I can live in such a place … It is more of a sculpture than a "home." I wonder how its residents feel. I mean do you think such minimalistic designs can actually create comfy homes?

This is quite a permanent scar in a landscape which I imagine had been quite pristine. This violation of a field should have been the main design concern. If it had been, I don’t think they would have produced this oversized concrete box.
